My Department's involvement with the voluntary and co-operative housing schemes relates primarily to the provision of funds for individual projects. The detailed administration of the schemes, and the certification that projects comply with the terms and conditions of the funding schemes, are the responsibility of the local authority.

An outline proposal has recently been received from Galway County Council in respect of the provision of 14 units of accommodation by the Society of St Vincent de Paul. Further documentation has been sought from the Council and on receipt of this information the proposal will be considered in the light of available funding and competing demands across all local authorities.
